Did Broner under achieve mang?

Yeah, if he were more disciplined and stayed between 135-140, he'd be pushing a Hall of Fame career right now.

There was no reason for him to ever move up to 147. Like Mikey Garcia, that's just too big for his body type.

I disagree. Broner wasn't that impressive even at 130 and 135 and he was never #1 at either of those divisions. The only good fighter he beat below 140 was Antonio Demarco.

He was supposed to be Fighter of the decade!

is the decade over yet? he's going to beat pac and floyd next year hater!

If only Broner has stayed under Floyd's wing and stayed dedicated to the sport, he would have been top 3 ATG. Perhaps even TBE himself.

He would beat the hell out of guys like Beltran or Ricky Burns at 135. Obviously he'd lose to Mikey and Lomachenko though.

he was never that good. and if anybody wants to debate me about it that isn't living in fantasy land will lose.
horrible transitioning from offense to defense and vice versa, very flat footed and has always been easy to hit. plods around the ring instead of using useful lateral movement and bouncing on his toes. Hardly any inside , etc etc. in fact, i'd argue the opposite. adrien broner is one of the least skillful fighters i've ever seen make it so far. Fighting guys that look like child immigrants and guys that can't hurt you will do that.


People that say Adrien Broner is skilled more than likely don't actually pay attention to the nuances of what it takes to be a good boxer.

I wanna say yes, but I think he'd always lose to Maidana and Porter. He made a mistake originally jumping from 135 to 147.

I was baffled at his team letting him jump up weight classes without peds lol like dat. I mean he already was showing weaknesses at 135. Maybe things woulda turned out a "little" diffrent if he moved up the right way.

Dude mad under achieved

atg skillset but threw it away

Laughable. Broner was one of the MOST flat footed, WORST distance controllers seen in years to become a so called "champion." Boxing is more than just moving your arms, buddy.
